A fiercely contested battle ended in heartbreak for Naas AFC’s Boys U12 (2014) Major side as clinical Kill snatched the spoils in an action-packed clash on Sat, 07 Nov 2026.
Kill travelled to Naas AFC for a crucial league encounter, with Naas looking to strengthen their grip on second place. While a victory wouldn't mathematically secure the position, it would put significant pressure on Killcullen, who still had two league fixtures remaining.
A tough result for Naas to take. For long spells they were the better side, creating the majority of the chances and playing some excellent football. On another day, they could easily have scored several more goals. The boys showed tremendous character, energy and teamwork throughout, and despite the disappointment of the result, there was plenty to be proud of in a performance full of commitment and quality. ⚽💙💛
As the season closes, it is time to focus on the positives to highlight the boy's achievements over the campaign,
Naas Major are currently 2nd in the KDUL U12 league
Naas reached the Shield semi-finals losing only on penalties,
Naas reached the last eight of the Cup, beaten by Clane Utd who are a strong prem team.
Naas scored 76 goals, 38 assists
Bobby gets the golden boot with a remarkable 17 goals haul. Bobby and Matthew were tied at 16 goals apiece going into today's final game. A huge achievement, well done Bobster.
An interesting stats fact, Bobby scored 11 goals in 3 consecutive games. 8 of his goals have been scored against Athy in the home/away fixture
Throughout the campaign of 25 games across the 3 comps, Naas have 15 wins / 1 draw and of the 7 loses (bar 2 games, these loses were only by 1 goal)
Heads held high, lads — the courage, work rate, and flashes of sheer brilliance prove this squad is ready to bounce back even stronger!
